Panel: Voice Computing and the Rise of ServiceDate/Time: 3:45 PM

Though Apple’s virtual assistant Siri may be approaching its sixth birthday, innovation in voice computing in 2017 has been driven by Amazon’s two-year-old Echo, and its voice operating system Alexa, for which brands, agencies and other third parties can create “Skills” to engage this rapidly growing user base. And with the recent debuts of the Echo Look and Echo Show, Alexa’s scope now includes the camera, too, as well as the microphone. How are early adopters innovating on the Alexa platform? What have they learned from trials with Alexa Skills? How does camera functionality enhance what third parties can do? Further afield, does the rise of virtual assistants come at the expense of other media? Why search for products and services when virtual assistants can provide service based on preferences?
